Unofficial rumor on french rpg market state that a french RPG company (not
Oriflam) are going to take contact with Hasbro in order to know the exact
price for RUNEQUEST TDM. Frenchs know that hasbro staff is actually thinking
to create a new department for wargames and boardgames, but are not willing
to take any risk with RPG Runequest slayers, considered by internal Hasbro
expert to be a total commercial faillure if published. Runequest being not
well know in the US by young gamers, and associated with Chaosium gloranthan
world for decades by all the others, Hasbro will lower the price, having
anybody able to make an offer, Chaosium stating that Runequest is already a
dead game. Following an internal Hasbro advice, selling can be possible at
incredible low cost...
This information is confidential, and i can not say more, but facts are
established
- Chaosium/ Issaries can try to make a purposal to Hasbro, frenchs are
agree to abandon in this case, having any will to contest creators of the
original game
- Fans can make a purposal and subscribe, frenchs will retire too in this
case
- anybody can express an opinion, the company is willing to move if nobody
else manifest any interrest in the case... french Runequest market was and
maybe rest the first in the world
note that i'm not involve in this case, just reporting ...
